Hyperbaric oxygen for blast-related postconcussion syndrome: three-month outcomes.
Abstract: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and postconcussion syndrome (PCS) are common among military combatants. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2 ) is a proposed treatment for these conditions, but it has not been rigorously studied. The objective of this study was to...

Abstract: To review the pathophysiology of early and late radiation-related tissue changes, methods to differentiate these changes from disease recurrence, and treatment of these changes in the irradiated larynx. Peer-reviewed publications. PubMed database search....
The effects of different hyperbaric oxygen manipulations in rats after traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: The protective effects of hyperbaric oxygenation following traumatic brain injury have been widely investigated; however, few studies have made systematic comparisons between the different hyperbaric oxygenation manipulations and their corresponding effects....

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment produces an antinociceptive response phase and inhibits astrocyte activation and inflammatory response in a rat model of neuropathic pain.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been proven to be a promising candidate for protection of the nervous system after acute injury in animal models of neuropathic pain. The purposes of this study were to examine the antinociceptive response phase induced...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for post-concussion syndrome: contradictory conclusions from a study mischaracterized as sham-controlled.

Are we getting necrotizing soft tissue infections right? A 10-year review.
Abstract: The Alfred Hospital is a referral centre for necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) in the state of Victoria and receives around 20 such patients each year. We sought to compare our practice and outcomes against published data, and to examine management...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves cognitive functioning after brain injury.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been widely applied and recognized in the treatment of brain injury; however, the correlation between the protective effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and changes of metabolites in the brain remains unclear. To investigate the...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: an introduction
Abstract Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a rich and diverse history, both in the United States and around the world. From its early uses in war to the building of bridges, and through many introductions to innovations in the medical community, it has been debated and...
